Teams NEED sponsors. Plain and simple. You say you want to support E-sports? Then stop trash talking about a company that's going out of their way to sponsor teams. They don't have to sponsor teams to make money, the sooner you people that rip on sponsors realize this, the better.

If a company gets flack for sponsoring a team do you really think it would be in their best interest to do so? No.

Congrats to MVP, they deserve it and a big thanks to Razer for supporting such a great team.

wrong, oGs with razer.

Also only sponsoring EG and fnatic is not good enough compared to razer's teams.

They also have IM.

Why can't Razor have their own team. I believe they had before.

Only as title sponsor (for serious-gaming in WC3)...IIRC it wasn't directly a "team razer" but more towards the way we see FnaticRaidCall (formerly FnaticMSI) now.

They directly sponsor the fighting game player Latif. Also usually the sponsorship is a hardware sponsorship so headphones keyboard mice micepad earbuds, and then after that the sponsorship can sometimes include salary, travel accomodations, etc.

Saw it coming, MVP is pretty much the best team in the world right now. I put them a little bit ahead of SlayerS

I was in the MVP house yesterday and they had just received their razer stuff, probably thats the reason why they all were really high in grandmaster :D

Yes I imagine this is the PERFECT OPPORTUNITY for Razer to put a logo on stage. Lets hope this grows.

I would just like to mention how awesome these photos are. I love seeing pictures of Nestea and MVP in my hometown of Anaheim! For my future purchases, I don't know whether to go Steelseries or Razer, maybe buy a headset from one and a mouse from another? I'm really glad both are invested into E-Sports though!

sigh i kinda wish sponsors meant more these days. We know nothing of these sponsorship's today anymore. This could be something as dumb as free gear for all players and 50 dollars a month for MVP to say razer is one of their sponsors. Just seems like anyone can get a sponsor from steelseries or razer but the circumstances aren't specified. I know some teams that say ttesports sponsors them when all they get is just like 6 full sets of gear O_o wouldn't really call that a sponsorship more like a donation for these companies.

Badminton sponserships, at least at the lower levels, is a couple racquets, shoes, and maybe a bag. Some grip and strings may be included. Total cost (retail), maybe 500-600 bucks. That is probably what they are getting per player. Every bit counts.
